Good question!

"Both subway and elevated train systems provided mass transit and promoted growth within cities. The first subway system was completed in London in 1863, while the first elevated train system was built in Chicago in 1895. Subway systems provide fast travel without disturbing traffic. Elevated train systems are cheaper than subways, but can be unattractive and noisy. Both systems gave citizens a faster way to travel from place to place without dealing with surface streets."

Subway is more expensive but doesn't impact as much as an elevated system

Explanation:

Subway Systems

Disadvantages

- It's more expensive, and slower to construct

- They require more technical complex techniques due to the impact it can generate, like geologic and aquifer studies.

Advantages

- It allows for better interconnection in the city with other means of transport.

- Doesn't alter current urban organization like Streets.

- Its natural and social impacts are lower, it doesn't affect the exterior and its isolated from atmospheric variables.

Elevated train System

Disadvantages

- Seismic activity can affect the building making it prone to a natural disaster.

- Occupies ground-level space, Noice and visual contamination.

- Being exposed to atmospheric variables like precipitation makes it vulnerable to damages, lost invisibility, and potential accidents,

Advantages

- its easier to construct,

- The studies required are not as complex, they are often focused on location studies, like not busy streets or intersecting buildings.

- Non-operational costs are lower.
